Awesome, thanks for the help!

Yes, she's got all the normal documents American applicants have other than a birth certificate. The concern is around the "name at birth" thing. The name on her passport is clearly the name to put on the top of the application, but her name at birth was totally different. Her Korean name seems...

I searched hard for this answer, but had no luck. My common law spouse was adopted from South Korea by American parents as a baby. She has an American "certificate of verification of citizenship" that has always worked as a birth certificate on her US forms. Now we're both Canadian PRs. We are...

Apparently no one has any idea what to do at this step. To help future confused immigrants, here's the answer. Step 1: ignore the instructions on the letter you received. They are wrong. Do not bother calling the IRCC call centre. There is no way to reach a person to do as the letter instructs...

I got a letter that says "We have approved your application for permanent residence in Canada." That's great! I live and work in Canada now. To actually get the document, it says I can either leave the country and return, in which case I would receive the PR visa at the port of entry, or I can...

I have a similar but not identical problem. The web tool won't find my application in order to change the address at all. I think it's because it's not in process yet, which is insane - all I need to do is make a digital note to change my address. I also submitted a help ticket more than two...

Howdy, folks! Thank you all for being so helpful with this process! I didn't see this exact scenario discussed already. Please tell me if I should put this in a new thread. My employer filed to extend my intracompany transfer work permit yesterday. Processing time is approx. 42 days. Because...

Hello! When I moved in 2015, I used a service called U-Pack from ABF. You pack up one or more huge steel containers by yourself at their depot, or they can bring the container to your home if you live in the boonies and have room for that! Then they move it to the closest depot they have in...

Howdy! I'm an American who just applied for PR. The online update says no background check is required, so I think that means what I submitted was acceptable. I submitted a criminal background check obtained from the state where I lived before coming to Canada. It was not FBI. I don't know for...

OK one more thought! Sorry, I keep thinking about things that might have caused my application to fail. I also did not report having more than CAD$10,000 because I planned to qualify under CEC and it's my understanding that funds don't matter for that. Am I wrong? I have more than CAD$10,000...

Folks, I do the same general work, I think, but I'm hired to do it for other companies, like a consultant. I intend to apply under 1122. What I do (software asset management internal audits) is referred to as "auditing" by IT people, but it is definitely not NOC 1111. It's not "financial...

As I re-entered everything on a second Express Entry profile, I remembered one detail: I entered an incorrect number for my wife's ECA (education certification assessment). She got one done, but lost the form. So we ordered another form and I entered the correct education level on the form, but...

Hello! I meet every requirement I can find for the Canadian Experience Class. My Express Entry Profile Details say "met" for "Canadian Experience Class." I have worked in Canada for over a year on a valid work visa in a professional NOC. I have 492 total points, which as I understand is more...

Thanks! That's great news. I read up on those things and that looks like the perfect way to go. Follow up question: do you happen to know if a language test is required for an internal work transfer visa? Thanks again!

Howdy! I'm very sorry if other threads answer my questions. I bet they do! I searched, but there are just so many pages of unique scenarios that I was a little overwhelmed. I really hope someone familiar with the process can point me in the right direction to get started. My company's Canadian...
